... In the report, any areas in which cerebral cortical uptake is more intense than white matter uptake should be noted. The nuclear physician should state clearly whether the scan demonstrates moderate or frequent amyloid deposition in the cerebral cortex (positive result) or not (negative result). Online training programs are currently available. Fig. 1 depicts typical positive and negative amyloid PET scans with flutemetamol. Some tools are currently developed for assisting nuclear medicine physicians in their visual assessment by integrating automatic semi-quantification, quantification possibly detecting earlier pathological deposition [25,26]. In this line, the centiloid scale, ...
